In the recently concluded 65th Miss Universe, Miss Philippines Maxine Medina only got up until the top 6 of the competition. Expectation from the fans and fellow Filipinos were high. Her performance in the pageant were under scrutiny as she chose to not use an interpreter and insist on using English.

In a tweet today by the 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach, she expressed her joy that Maxine represented the Philippines well. She added that fellow Filipinos should not bash their kababayan and told Maxine to keep her head up as she is a queen.

So proud of Maxine. She represented the Philippines so well. And guys, she wanted it just as much as you did. Let's not bash our kababayan.😔
